Timber Clean

• An effective alkaline salt timber cleaner
• Does not contain chlorine or oxalic acid
• Suitable for use on exterior timbers such as decking and garden furniture
• Can also be used to clean mould and grime from exterior masonry and concrete

• Active ingredient is sodium percarbonate
• Half a cup of product when mixed with hot water in a bucket, will make 10 litres of ready to use solution.
• For heavily stained timber, the quantity of Timber Clean per 10 litres of water can be adjusted to suit.
• 10 litres should treat 6-10 square metres

• Wet timber with fresh cold water.
• Apply the made up solution to the timber and scrub using a stiff brush. Wear gloves at all times.
• Leave 30-40 minutes and then rinse off with fresh cold water
• If necessary, repeat process
• Allow to dry for 24-48 hours (no rain) before applying a good quality timber finish

Note:

• If your timber has been grey and weathered for many years, this process may not be effective. The only option may be sanding or replacement.
• The tannins in some timbers have a chemical reaction with sodium percarbonate. In particular, use of sodium percarbonate on garapa will turn the timber green. Always test suitability before cleaning.
